PPR Certified Professional Pickleball Trainer. I have been playing Pickleball for over 8 years and play Tournaments at high level 50 plus 4.5 - 5.0 level (4.83 DUPR rated) 4.5 PPA Gold and Silver Medalist. Also, I am an experienced trainer for over 4 years. Currently, I am Team Engage Paddle Representative and distributor and have Demo paddles for players to tryout. My happy place is playing and training players by sharing my skills and experience with others to enjoy this great game of pickleball!

"The lesson wasn't too intense, but I did pick up some helpful tips on controlling my paddle better, especially when returning quick shots. Still, I think a few more practical drills could make a difference. Kurt's approach is pretty straightforward, and I’m hopeful that with a bit more focus, I’ll see stronger results soon. If you're looking to sharpen your skills, he’s worth trying out.

"I’ve asked Jay regarding one review that’s gotten 1 star rating… Not to badmouth anyone here, but it’s very misleading to just hear one side of the story so I’m putting down a review so you guys can decide. What Jay told me happened was that this particular student told through the app that she never needed equipments. So then, of course Jay or any instructor will come empty handed. Then first thing she told him was “I don’t have any clubs” and that’s how their lesson started off. After one hour, she told him how willing she was to take two instead of one lesson a week so she can develop faster. So Jay planned her curriculum accordingly. But at the end, she didn’t explain her text thoroughly regarding getting lessons and he ended up preparing as if he would see her. And then the rest happened. My personal experience with jay is just like the rest of the people here. Absolutely amazing of a coach!

For two decades, I've been driven by the thrill of witnessing players transform their potential on the court. My coaching centers around a holistic approach, merging technical mastery with strategic thinking to unlock each athlete's unique strengths.
